/// **What it does:** This lint checks for operations where precedence may be unclear and suggests to add parentheses. Currently it catches the following:
/// * mixed usage of arithmetic and bit shifting/combining operators without parentheses
/// * a "negative" numeric literal (which is really a unary `-` followed by a numeric literal) followed by a method call
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Because not everyone knows the precedence of those operators by heart, so expressions like these may trip others trying to reason about the code.
///
/// **Known problems:** None
///
/// **Examples:**
/// * `1 << 2 + 3` equals 32, while `(1 << 2) + 3` equals 7
/// * `-1i32.abs()` equals -1, while `(-1i32).abs()` equals 1
